Get Back
At 10:48, before this attempt, John says, "Jo-Jo McCartney".
Understated and lacklustre ....

Get Back
They are already running through Get Back as the tape starts.
This is quite a reasonable performance.
John, "Wasn't bad."
Paul (sung), "I've got a feeling", then "What's happening Bill, next dance ?"
Glyn, "What are you going to do ?"
John, "Play it again."
Paul, "Stick with it."
George Martin, "Let's go into something else, if you keep doing it you'll go stale."
Paul, "I've got a feeling."
John, "Oh come on."
Paul, "Oh alright, Don't let me down."
But they then decide to do one more Get Back as Paul says, "Time, 2:30". |
3:34 |
| 5:20 |
Get Back
During this take a slate call for "Slate 396" is heard.
After the take they discuss the merits of previous takes. |

at the same time Paul counterpoints with "Water Water". |

| 12:16 |
Get Out Of My Life Woman, I Don't Need You Anymore
Paul sings alone. |
0:25 |
| 12:58 |
Take These Chains From My Heart
As they noodle about to the end of this tape, this amusing retort is heard,
Glyn, "You do realise this tape is costing you two shillings a foot."
George, "Costing E.M.I. !" |

I've Got A Feeling (G.B.no. 27.8)
The count-in is done in French, but the take comes to an abrupt halt ...
Paul, "Miles out, aren't we."

Paul, "Yes."
Then tuning is heard. |
0:53 |
| 3:55 |
I've Got A Feeling (G.B.no. 27.9)

The take is then re-wound. |
2:40 |
| 4:45 |
I've Got A Feeling (Playback of 27.13)
"I'm so ashamed", plus the entire take above.
Paul thinks his singing could be better, then asks to hear the other Get Back.
George, "What's the time ?"
"9:15".
There follows a very interesting discussion of the songs done so far. |

Dialogue
Glyn, "Shall I get you some acetates cut of the stuff I mixed last night ?"
Paul, "Yeah sure, anything is good. But don't get those 'asleep' ones, we've got that already."
Glyn, "Which take of Get Back ?"
Paul, "We'll leave it up to you, unless anybody says to the contrary, you just do what you think."
Glyn, "Well I think it's either, it's very difficult."
Paul. "Well it's the first one then."
Then Paul adds,
"Listening to the dubs you can really see how incredible they can be these numbers.
Today we should really go through all of them to check whether there's bits we're messing up.
You've got a place in the Kings Road, you hear about it ?"
Linda, "Very trendy."
Paul, "Mini skirts !"
There follows much discussion on all the tracks ....
Very interesting. |

slips into a blues version rotating around the middle 8 again and again. |
